A PSA 10 currently sells for about $38,564, raw the card sits at $407.77 — 94,6× as much. Of 387 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $2,609 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 29 auctions the median was $147.46, across 53 fixed-price sales $178.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $77.32 and $183.03, with a median of $140.62. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around $45.89. Offers well below $27.53 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: English $145.60 (49), Italian $76.39 (11). English fetches about 91 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
